Love Means Just That

Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:9-11

Our politically charged environment right now has many people being ugly and saying mean and hateful things instead of doing the opposite, praying. Of course some of those having outbursts or causing riots may not know Jesus as their savior but any who do should know better.

Why don't we fight against sin and evil and not the person elected to lead our country. Many prayer organizations have 24 hour prayer going on for this nation. This is exciting to know how God is working. Some walking in darkness hate this as dark hates light.

God's way is to love and turn the other cheek and pray for those being evil and cruel. They may be lost souls who have no idea of the truth or are being led by seducing spirits. Be nice and go pray.

PRAYER: Since the beginning of time there have been hateful people who don't like goodness. I pray Lord even for any people o may know like this that you would transform hearts and minds and lead the lost to you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
